Reviews
• Bass House with a trap bite • Dark wobbling groove that twists constantly • Heavy club weapon with unpredictable turns Loved this NXSTY release. Vancouver-born producer NXSTY returns with his explosive new single “Break The Body” which also marks a strong debut on Westwood Recordings. He has always been great at mixing trap roots
• Warm vocal that carries everything • Classic prog structure with personality • A promising first chapter Suns on Fire arrives with his first Progressive House release and he went with the self-titled approach. “Sun’s On Fire” is a great track that doesn’t try to be too fancy and still ends up sticking with you.
• Cyberpunk energy? • Hybrid techno influence creeping in • Experimental but still very Devin A new style for Devin Wild and honestly I’ve been waiting for this. He has always sat on the melodic side of Hardstyle, sometimes euphoric, sometimes dreamy, but you could feel he wanted to break out and do something crazier.
• American Hardstyle with a sharper identity • Anti-climax drop that actually works • Chaotic, fast and surprisingly mature Time for a Yosuf review today, since I was really missing my Hardstyle dose. The American producer just released “Till The Morning Comes” on BassCon and I had a lot of fun with it. I’ve been
• Classic Mike Williams melody and groove • Gorgeous vocal from Philip Strand • Lacking a little spark in the drop Welcome back, Future Bounce. It’s been a while. Mike Williams returns to familiar territory with “All My Life (In My Heart)“, featuring Philip Strand on vocals. Released on Future House Music, this one feels
• Surprising synergy between the hard beats and the vocal • Fast, gritty, and unapologetically fun • A remix that feels alive, not forced You probably remember “Ex’s & Oh’s” from every car radio in 2014! Gritty guitars, playful lyrics, and Elle King‘s unmistakable growl. Now it’s back, rebuilt for the dancefloor with a Hardstyle
• Euphoric intro with a beautiful vocal build • Raw finale that hits harder than expected • Balance of melody and aggression “The Spark” instantly grabbed my attention with its clean production and emotional tone. It’s a rare thing to hear a Rawstyle track that manages to feel this uplifting while still keeping its punch.
• Wiz Khalifa meets Hard Techno energy • Iconic vocal loop reimagined for the club • A clean, modern twist on a classic hit And of course we needed a Techno rework of this Wiz Khalifa banger. “Black and Yellow” is one of the most recognizable tracks in hip hop, and easily one of my
• Deep House warmth with a clean modern twist • Dreamy piano and smooth percussion layering • A vocal that feels both soft and sincere I’ve been really getting into TMPST‘s sound lately, especially when I’m traveling. Sitting at the airport right now, listening to his new collab “Forgive,” I honestly feel at home. It’s
• Exotic flair! • Grimy first drop, melodic payoff at the end • Personality-driven vocal that seals the vibe Today I picked some hard-hitting Hardstyle for you, with an ethnic vibe that really stood out to me. Released on Jambacco Records, “Koombaye” by Van Heden and Neutrophic is one of those tracks that just demands
• Big Room with an emotional buildup • Insane pre-drop tension • One of the most creative drops of 2025 Ah, orchestral buildups always get me. Pair that with a gorgeous vocal and wowowow, I wasn’t expecting that drop at all. Jaysic and Jason Robert really nailed something special with “Lose Control”: that first hit
• Old-school lead with a new-school punch • Build-up that fires up any crowd • Festival-ready and dangerously fun Is it good… or up to no good? D’Angello & Francis are back with another blast of their signature aggressive Techno sound. “Up To No Good” is pure acid-fueled madness, built to melt faces and light
• Female vocal with distorted flair • Buildup shines with detailed bassline • Final drop goes raw and unexpected I swear, the first notes instantly reminded me of Katy Perry’s “Dark Horse”. Same kind of hypnotic pull, but “Run” quickly moves into way more energetic territory. I’ve praised Benster before for his remix and the
• Third collab between Ryos and KSHMR, now joined by nilsix • Haley May’s vocal lifts the track beautifully • Trance foundation with a progressive edge Four mega producers coming together for a trance track? That’s already a headline. “Radiate” marks the third collaboration between Ryos and KSHMR, this time with the addition of nilsix
• Launch of Just Records with debut single • Straightforward techno structure with punchy bassline • A bit predictable but still fun in the long run I’ve been following Justus for a while now, ever since that beautiful release on Spinnin’, “Meant To Be“. Since then he’s been collecting collabs with some of the biggest
• Vocoded vocal loop as the backbone • Slow pace, heavy distorted bass • Minimal yet hypnotic structure Since we’re already in the realm of exotic compositions, let me bring up something even crazier. HANDZ just dropped “Breath”, and this track is unlike anything else I’ve heard in a while. It opens in the most
• Japanese guitar instead of the usual techno lead • Psytrance foundation with hardgroove flavor • Sweet vocal loop crushed by heavy basslines I’ve got to say, Fvck Error surprised me big time with “Yoritomo”. This is not your regular psytrance tune. Right from the start, there’s a beautiful vocal loop floating on top, almost
• The original “Pleasure Model” was dark, uncanny, unforgettable • 150 BPM techno tones it down with hypnotic restraint • 172 BPM DnB tears it apart with snarling aggression The original “Pleasure Model” from 2017 is one of those tracks you never forget. A collab between Noisia and Former that felt more like an atmosphere
• Seven Lions-style progressions with a sweet vocal twist • First half with Prog House influences • Second half dives into deeper Dubstep territory The melody in this collaboration really struck a chord with me. 9 Worlds and 3THOS, both from Canada, delivered something that feels instantly familiar yet still fresh. Think Seven Lions-style progressions,
• From Progressive to Hardstyle without losing the soul • Officially embraced by Lacuna Festival • Energy that screams both passion and precision This one’s a real journey. “Dreamer” was already a beautiful progressive house anthem from Natixx and Josh Le Tissier, released last year on Glow Records. A proper festival track on its own.
• Chill summer vibe in a Deep House frame • Playful drums and quirky fills keep things light • Idun Nicoline‘s vocals fit perfectly into the mix Beautiful vocal and the vibe is just. So. Chill. “Far Far Away” is a splendid summer track, and honestly, it might be one of the sweetest I’ve heard
